Clean Water Projects in Uganda and Honduras
Since 2018, our mission at Clarity Dermatology has been to provide excellent dermatologic care for every patient, treat each person with compassion, and build a practice grounded in integrity, mutual respect, teamwork, and accountability.
In 2022, we expanded that mission beyond our clinic walls.
Through our partnership with World Vision, Clarity Dermatology supports clean water initiatives in communities that need it most. We donate 25% of all cosmetic product sales (including sunscreens and skincare products) to help bring clean, safe water to families in Uganda and Honduras.
Thanks to the generosity of our patients, we have funded water wells that will improve the lives of more than 7,000 people who will have clean water for the rest of their lives.
Why Clean Water?
- Access to clean water is one of the greatest public health needs in the developing world.
- Many illnesses and child deaths are linked to unsafe water, sanitation, and hygiene.
- Improved water access especially supports women and girls by reducing the time and distance required to collect water.
Where Your Skincare Purchase Goes
The Impact of Everyday Choices
For every $15 spent on skincare products at Clarity Dermatology, your purchase helps provide clean water for 1 person for an entire year. A small choice can make a big difference.
Example impact:
- 1 EltaMD Sunscreen = 1 year of clean water for 2+ people
- 1 Revision Retinol = 1 year of clean water for 6+ people
- 1 Revision or SkinCeuticals Vitamin C = 1 year of clean water for 10+ people
- 1 Epionce Moisturizer = 1 year of clean water for 6+ people
Using a standard four-part regimen for one year (assuming each product is purchased once per quarter) can help provide a year of clean water for 96+ people.
Please join Clarity Dermatology in our efforts to help make a real difference in someone’s life!
The Journey So Far
From Uganda to Honduras
Our partnership began with water well projects in Uganda, where your support helped fund clean water access in communities like Atapara and Akaka.
As this work progressed, the need and opportunity to expand impact grew. Today, our efforts are focused in Honduras, where World Vision is working to Finish the Job by 2028 so more families can have lasting, reliable access to clean water.
This is not a one-time project. It is a long-term commitment, and we are proud to continue the journey with our patients and community.
Communities with Water in Honduras In 2023
Current Focus
Finish the Job: Honduras (Goal 2028)
In western Honduras, many communities are located high in the mountains, far from safe water sources. For years, families have relied on shallow wells and contaminated creeks. The result is preventable illness, missed school, and an enormous daily burden — especially for women and girls.
World Vision’s “Finish the Job” work is focused on sustainable solutions that last, including:
- Building and protecting water systems that can serve families for generations
- Supporting local water committees to maintain and manage the systems
- Improving health outcomes through safe water access and hygiene education
Our shared goal is to help finish the job in Honduras by 2028.

A Thank You Message from World Vision
Hi, Dr. Jensen, our friends at Clarity Dermatology. I’m Dr. Greg Allgood, and I’m here in Zambia, and I want to take a minute for your investment in World Vision’s water work. It’s making a tremendous difference, whether it’s your investment in Uganda, Honduras, or to our global work. This is transforming lives. Here in Zambia, we’re celebrating reaching everyone, everywhere we work, with clean water in 29 different areas of the country where we work. And not only providing clean water for communities, you can hear the celebration behind me. Not only water for communities, but also we’ve upgraded 150 healthcare clinics and 380 schools. We believe that with everyone doing their part, we can solve the global water crisis. So thank you for being part of this, and God bless you.
Thank you for helping bring water for life.
We are honored to share a message of thanks from World Vision’s Vice President of Development for WASH and Health.
